++Shelob
Scatha has a cool name and he reminds me of old legends like Beowulf, but I've got to be feminist and vote Shelob.

I love dragons but there's just not enough info on Scatha for me to vote for him. I mean, the only adjective you could use describing him is "dead".

Nevertheless, I always liked what happened to Scatha's teeth - also pretty cool story. And speaking of Scáthatch, I started to wonder about the etymology of Scatha's name - is it possible that it had something to do with "Shadow", after all, too? Or did Tolkien say anything more? Was it supposed to reflect the language of the Éotheod, who were, after all, the ones who encountered him? Okay, I see I would be starting another thread again...
